Not because I expect any of you to truly understand it, but because my soul requires it of me, I post the following for you to mull over. "We believe in Marxfreudanddarwin We believe everything is OK as long as you don't hurt anyone to the best of your definition of hurt, and to the best of your knowledge. We believe in sex before, during, and after marriage. We believe in the therapy of sin. We believe that adultery is fun. We believe that sodomy’s OK. We believe that taboos are taboo. We believe that everything's getting better despite evidence to the contrary. The evidence must be investigated And you can prove anything with evidence. We believe there's something in horoscopes UFO's and bent spoons. Jesus was a good man just like Buddha, Mohammed, and ourselves. He was a good moral teacher though we think His good morals were bad. We believe that all religions are basically the same- at least the one that we read was. They all believe in love and goodness. They only differ on matters of creation, sin, heaven, hell, God, and salvation. We believe that after death comes the Nothing Because when you ask the dead what happens they say nothing. If death is not the end, if the dead have lied, then its compulsory heaven for all excepting perhaps Hitler, Stalin, and Genghis Kahn We believe in Masters and Johnson What's selected is average. What's average is normal. What's normal is good. We believe in total disarmament. We believe there are direct links between warfare and bloodshed. Americans should beat their guns into tractors . And the Russians would be sure to follow. We believe that man is essentially good. It's only his behavior that lets him down. This is the fault of society. Society is the fault of conditions. Conditions are the fault of society. We believe that each man must find the truth that is right for him. Reality will adapt accordingly. The universe will readjust. History will alter. We believe that there is no absolute truth excepting the truth that there is no absolute truth. We believe in the rejection of creeds, And the flowering of individual thought. If chance be the Father of all flesh, disaster is his rainbow in the sky and when you hear State of Emergency! Sniper Kills Ten! Troops on Rampage! Whites go Looting! Bomb Blasts School! It is but the sound of man worshipping his maker. " |

So I suppose this is you ranting about how at first we say we shouldn't do bad things, but when we actually do them, we figure it's okay? |

to me the poem is describing the ironic contridictory nature humans are.. or the fact that life is an oxymoron within an oxymoron. :) it's really well written |

And also how we tend to convince ourselves that bad situations are good because we can't bear to accept the truth. O: |

I think that it's actually a commentary on the foolishness, intellectual arrogance and apethic immorality of man in the modern period. |

Not really. We're still stuck with morons on all ends of the spectrum, and that will never cease to exist so long as humanity as we know it now remains on this Earth. |

When you look at the percentages, you'll notice that everything's pretty much the same. |
